Walking Tall.

I honestly don't have too much to say about this look, other than after wearing this flower cuff, I wish I wore it more often. It's fun and girly, but because of it's structure also makes me feel powerful and strong. I will say this though, this past week Southern California has been undergoing a heat wave, not to mention earthquakes, and after going home for lunch midday, I realized it was too hot and too much effort to wear platform heels all day. If I still lived in Ohio, I don't think I would wear heels hardly at all over the summer, too much work.

Grass is Always Greener.

I find a lot of joy in many simple things, but there aren't many things as relaxing as laying in the grass. I really wanted to make the colors in this dress pop so I paired it with neon accessories to brighten things up. Neon is a HUGE trend this summer, and I'm still navigating the waters. As someone who feels much more comfortable in darker palettes, accessories are a good place to start.
